Yuxuan Liang USING QT TO IMPLEMENT A TRANSLATION APPLICATION Thesis CENTRIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES Information Technology December 2019 ABSTRACT Centria University Date Author of Applied Sciences December 2019 Yuxuan Liang Degree programme Information Technology Name of thesis USING QT TO IMPLEMENT A TRANSLATION APPLICATION Instructor Pages Jari Isohanni 32+1 Supervisor Jari Isohanni The aim of this thesis was to create a translation application with Qt. The main idea was to make an absolutely free translation application for users. While learning a language, people have the option to add their own interpretation of words to the the- saurus, to share and learn other people's understanding of words. The thesis consists of two parts. The first part is to learn the basic knowledge of Qt procedures. Correspondingly, by learning the theoretical knowledge of Qt, and then discovering which functions of the translation software can be realized through related Qt programming knowledge. The entire software will use the relevant knowledge of Qt database, Qt interface design, modeling, C ++, Qt signal and slot connection. As a result of the thesis work, this translation application can meet the daily learning needs of users and become an example of future development of Qt software.
